Psalm 115

1Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your steadfast love and your faithfulness.

2Why should the nations say, “Where now is their God?”

3Our God is in the heavens; he does whatever he pleases.

4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands.

5They have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see.

6They have ears, but they do not hear; they have noses, but they do not smell.

7They have hands, but they do not feel; they have feet, but they do not walk; they make no sound in their throats.

8Those who make them will become like them, and so will everyone who trusts in them.

9Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

10House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

11You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

12Yahweh has remembered us; he will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

13He will bless those who fear Yahweh, the small together with the great.

14May Yahweh give you increase, you and your children.

15May you be blessed by Yahweh, the Maker of heaven and earth.

16The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh, but the earth he has given to human beings.

17The dead do not praise Yah, nor do any who go down into silence.

18But we will bless Yah from now on and forever. Hallelujah!
